Darwin 
A vigorous race of self-colored flowers, distinguished by 
their strong and tall stems and their shapely flowers. To 
all intents and purposes they are “Breeder Tulips.” They 
flower simultaneously with the Breeder, Cottage and Hy¬ 
brid Tulips during the month of May, with the exception 
of far southern sections, where they bloom during April. 
The varieties named in our list have been especially se¬ 
lected as being distinct, showy, and beautiful. Unsatisfac¬ 
tory varieties have been eliminated, so that you need have

masses with a ground cover of Myosotis or rising 
out of a mass of Cheiranthus allionii. Yellow
